you doubled the beauty of the sky :)

You makes me happy you've liked it!!! Thanks a lot! It was a perfect day, with fast moving clouds and crystalline blue sky!
Just ... these air-conditioners make some mess in it;o)

Given this warm winter, I see the air-conditioners covering the whole building next time...

maybe, poor photographs! :o)

Me, I like the A/C units. They give the photo some interest, and are a nice counterpoint to the vibrant sky.

Gergana Vasileva plus March 07, 2007, 02:09 PM

Hm, I don't exactly like them, but agree with you concerning the counterpoint ;-)

The regularity appeals to me. Sort of how industrial installations are often regular and organized, and look very orderly.

Contrast that with the truly random shape of the clouds and the vibrancy of the sky, and there is where my interest lies.

Yep, you have a very interesting point! Usually we are searching simply the contrast between the industry and the nature.

I like to find out the way in which the nature transforms manmade environment, enriching it with colors, lights and reflections of life.

Th Clvr Mnky March 07, 2007, 11:18 PM

Me too. We often think that there is some necessary schism between nature, and the things we do. The fact is, we are in the natural world, air conditioners and all, whether we like it or not.

We've created our environment within another environment. Photos that show that transformation (as you say) of our "man-made" world by the other highlights (to me) how much of the world we all are.

I mean, if we can find beauty and meaning in a smear of oil in a puddle on the road, who's to say that this beauty is diminished by a photo of an "untouched" lake.

Different beauty and meaning, perhaps, but not by much (with the right eyes and way of seeing).

I'll hop off my soapbox now!

Don't, please, like to talk with you:o)

A smear of oil in a puddle was a good example

So happy to hear that!!!
The overexposed window was the place where the sun decided to hide its bright face, heh:o)
